I was looking at the 16 boxes of Cdrs last night after having to move them across the room due to water dripping in through the ceiling. I would not be against moving them all onto a harddrive. 800MB per disc, or on average 600 MB, or say 3 Cds per 2 GB's - 100 cdrs per box, like 33 gb x 16 box - 528 GB? Thats seems too litte...

the cost of storage has gone down enormously in recent years (except for the year after the south-asian tsunami), you're talking over 1/2 a terabyte which was a mythical amount of storage 10 years ago, so no, it's not little.

get rid of those boxes before the rats move into them.

ps don't use microwave again.

why not? mine still works after doing this
just open the door and let it air out for a bit
and why 30 seconds? you dont even need 5 seconds to do this

lets see what happens when you microwave 15 of them

that was a bit of a letdown, if i may say so. i expected something between tesla coil and hand-grenade instead of that vaguely smoky mess.

anyway, this is the best home appliance video ever-- unrelated, yes, but amazing:

I moved all my cds to the communal area upstairs in our flat together with one of my hi-fis, so we can listen to music when we are socialising at home.
